  COMING UP: Sasha Franklyn on Lawyering with Presence on Thursday, July 16^th from 7PM-8:30PM ET

  
  

  Join us for an interactive 90-minute workshop featuring guided reflection, small-group discussion, and practical tools for personal and professional growth.

  
  

  Please register by THURSDAY, JULY 9TH to help us finalize planning and receive a brief pre-workshop assessment from Sasha Franklyn prior to the session.

  
  

  About Sasha's session:

  This session is built for the specific pattern many AAPI attorneys carry into leadership, where the professional identity constructed to earn credibility in these institutions begins to work against the very authority they've worked hard to claim. That pattern is shaped not just by the environments they navigate, but also by the cultural expectations and family inheritance they carry alongside their careers. When those two things aren't integrated, what shows up is burnout, imposter syndrome, and the kind of overthinking that doesn't respond to more information or more confidence-building. This session names that pattern structurally, which is what sets it apart from most professional development programming. People leave with something they can actually use, not just an insight that fades by the following week.

  Georgia Asian Pacific American Bar Association (GAPABA)

  South Asian Bar Association North America (SABA-NA)

  are proud to partner and present a virtual summer book club!

  
  

  Join us this summer for a relaxed, engaging virtual book club! We're continuing our summer bookclub with a July discussion centered around Mongrel by Hanako Footman — a debut novel that follows three women connected by shared themes of love and hope: Mei, a biracial woman in Surrey grappling with her heritage; Yuki, a violinist in London navigating a relationship with her teacher; and Haruka, a hostess in Tokyo's underworld. 

  
  

  Whether you’re a devoted reader or just looking for a reason to dive into something new, this is a space for thoughtful conversation and networking around books! Together, we’ll explore AANHPI centric stories and unravel their unique takeaways together. Come for the story, stay for the discussion, and make your summer reading a little more memorable with GAPABA & SABA-NA's Racial Justice Task Force!
